NEW WINDSOR, N.Y., September 2005 –
GretagMacbeth, the worldwide leader in color measurement technology and color
management solutions, has been chosen as the preferred measuring device
supported by the Global Color Exchange (GcX) quality management software offered
by ColorMetrix Technologies, LLC. ColorMetrix GcX is a web-based reporting
system that uses spectral data to qualify proofs in a color-managed workflow. A
certified proof becomes the baseline and all subsequent proofs produced are
measured against a standard using the GretagMacbeth Eye-One Pro
spectrophotometer and a set target of color patches. Using the Eye-One Pro
ensures that this process is quick, easy and accurate.

In announcing his choice of the GretagMacbeth color
solution, ColorMetrix Chief Executive Officer Jim Raffel commented, “The
GretagMacbeth Eye-One Pro spectrophotometer was a natural choice for us to
support with the GcX solution. With the capability of calibrating monitors and
measuring ambient light, as well as its user friendliness and outstanding
performance, the GretagMacbeth Eye-One Pro enables the GcX software to display
colors accurately and conveniently to the end user.”
The
GcX server enables users to store measured data for specific jobs. Since the
data is spectral-based, users can adjust the measured colors to be displayed
under a simulated light source.By using the
Eye-One Pro ambient light measurement feature, the functionality of the GcX
software can be expanded to display colors under the user’s actual
lighting conditions.
“We
are pleased that for its newest quality control solution, ColorMetrix has once
again chosen to support the Eye-One Pro,” explains Mark Geeves, VP of
Business Development at
GretagMacbeth.“Accurate color data is
integral to keeping a process in check. Without process control, there can be no
color consistency throughout the workflow.”
AvailabilityThe
GretagMacbeth Eye-One Pro spectrophotometer is available as part of the Eye-One
Proof color management solution. The GretagMacbeth Eye-One Photo and ColorMetrix
GcX software are available now through authorized GretagMacbeth and ColorMetrix
resellers.
